Awadalla, S.S., Bayoumy, M.H., & El-Basnony, A.M. 2023 Effect of Single- And Mixed-Resource Diets of Mealybug Stages on Developmental and Reproductive Performances of the Green Lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea. Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology 14(10): 297 - 302

Notes: The success of any predator majorly depends on the nutritional quality of its prey. Larvae of C. carnea were provided with either eggs of one of Planococcus citri, Icerya aegyptiaca I. seychellarum and their mixing or second-instars of one of those mealybug species and one more species, Planococcus solenopsis. Eggs of mealybug species significantly affected oviposition period, female and male longevities, and fecundity.
